Even though the Library building is closed, many resources and services are still available online via the portal and library catalogue.
Additional online content
Many publishers and book/journal suppliers have temporarily opened up additional content during this period. We have put together a library guide which lists this additional content available: http://libguides.stir.ac.uk/covidlibsupport. Please note that not all of the additional content is in the library catalogue. Please use both the catalogue and this guide to search for resources.
We will continue to add additional temporary content to this guide as it becomes available.
Textbooks
VitalSource has opened up its E-Textbooks Collection for University of Stirling students until the end of June. Students may access up to 7 e-textbooks from the collection by registering for an account – see http://libguides.stir.ac.uk/covidlibsupport/vitalsource.
